The Beast and the Sword Book 2: The Changes

Page 5: Don't Go To Sleep! Night of a Haunting PT2

Inside the safehouse Yami was enjoying a night to himself as he was reading the newspaper while taking a puff, though he noticed that things were---TOO QUIET. So he got up and went to make his way to check Prism's room. He gave it a knock and much to his surprise, it was quiet.

"Hey kid, are you doing okay there?" He said as he knocked on the door.

He didn't seem to get an answer on the other side. He knocked again before he said, "Kid, in your condition you can't stay up late, so whatever game you're playing you better--"

He was soon taken back when he heard a sneeze from a familiar creature, which made him jump.

"What the--!?"

Immediately afterwards he kicked down the door, only to find that Prism, or the others had been in the room. It had just been Adrien as he looked to be covering his nose. Yami had a twitch before he said "That damn little--Okay bud, wanna tell me where your owner is?"

Adrien looked around as he was about to leave but Yami took his neck as he let out a squawk of some kind before he froze..

"Nuh-uh. You're not escaping. Now where are they?" Yami asked with an aura.

Adrien only shook as he used his tail to point towards the fireplace. Immediately, he had put it together as he let go of Adrien's neck after he noticed the tapestry had been stained with coffee.

"Those turds are SOO dead." Yami soon said with fire in his eyes. He soon turned to Adrien, "You Lizard--Take me to your owner and those other brats."

Adrien only whimpered fearfully as his body shook; much to Yami's own shock he ran under the bed as his body shrunk. "Nuh-uh--" Yami said as he got him out by dragging him by his tail; he reverted back to size. "You are not bailing out on this one. You're taking responsibility."

Adrien only let pout a low squawk as he hung his head in shame before Yami asked. "Hey...where's that damn duck?"

Yami soon heard the sound of thunder outside as it suddenly put Adrien on alert almost as if it had been on instinct, as Yami himself looked shocked when he growled. "...Crap.." was all Yami could say.

Karasu had been first to emerge from the sewer as the passageway. He looked around and saw no one had been in the street before he climbed himself out, as he pulled Sachiko out. "Alright guys, come on up." He said as he motioned them.

Prism was the first person up as Karasu helped up; helped her out as she kept her red shawl on. "Ow! Hands!" Prism exclaimed as she shook them out, while the little spirits tended to her hands, "Grip!"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Karasu said, "Though I had to keep you from breaking a leg."

Pluck soon came up as he gasped air before he felt a bump "HEY! Easy you stupid Pigtailed Cow Sule!" Karasu soon pulled him out as he shouted, "Why did you have to hit me that hard!?"

"It's your own fault!" Noelle called from inside before she climbed out as her night gown looked to be stained with a bit of green, "You're the one that landed me back there! And dragged me into that sewer water when you tripped!!"

Pluck said as he stuck his tongue out, "Only because of your complaining!"

"I thought we were supposed to be having fun tonight." Sachiko said as it made Pluck and Noelle flinch. Pluck immediately said with an innocent smile, "O-oh we are! Hehe don't mind us!
